Question:
Hi. We have a 2016 Honda odyssey that does not have roof rails. Is there a crossbar rack we can install to use for our kayaks with our kayak carriers that would attach without the need of the roof rails or not?

Hey Dave, to install a kayak carrier on the roof of your 2016 Honda Odyssey you would have to install a roof rack like the Rhino Rack Vortex rack part # RR64FE that is a confirmed fit. Then for a kayak carrier the etrailer carrier part # e98878 would work great and is easy to use/load.
